Contention and disagreement marked
the course ' of the sixteenth annual
meeting of tbe Oregon Bar association
this morning. The storm swirled about
a resolution Introduced by Judge H, H
Northrup asking that the . grievance

structed to recall the dlabarment.pro

Tanner, providing that the aupreme
court was willing to allow tbe charges
which are now pending to , ba with
drawn Routine matters had occupied the at
tention of the asaoclatlon up to the
time when Judge Northup lntroduoed
his resolution. He atated ta the association-that
he -wished to present a
resolution which waa of Importance,
and thoj read to the members a resolu
tion' directing the grievance committee
the nullify Ita work la the Tanner case
by asking the aupreme court to allow
the chargea to ba withdrawn and the
disbarment prooeeding to ba diamlsaed,
Oefeada Judge Tawaev.
'"JVdg4 Northup, in' supporting bis
resolution, which had bean emphatically
seconded by B, 8. Pa rue, said be had
believed la Judge Tanner, and yet did
ao. in aplte of . the chargea lodged
against him. . He had known the. ao
and he esteemed him aa an ornament
to the Oregon bar. ' Hia trouble had
come aa the result f unfortunate eon-
dltlona where he had- been forced to
fall through the bonds of an old and
lasting friendship for a man who was
In deep trouble and legal danger. He
thought It was fitting to have the
charges agalnat him withdrawn If the
aupreme court waa willing. Pardon had
been granted by the government; hia
friends of the bar should also ba mer
ciful. .
F. V. Holman followed Judge Northup
with a motion to Indefinitely postpone
the reaolutlon. He held that auch ac
tion would not be fair to Judge Tanner.
It waa not fair for ao -few of the Ore
gon bar to quaeh the proceedings, for
it would not carry absolution from the
stain of the charges. It the resolution
failed, th speaker contended. It would
mean that the ' asaoclatlon had con
demned Judge Tanner.
F. D. Chamberlain followed Mr. Hol
man and aatd ha waa with the former

Tanner, had visited In hia house, en

to vote agalnat the reaolutlon. The
caae had been argued before "the au

they dismissed It Tanner waa vindi
cated. If it waa found that he had been
guilty he should suffer and ba dis
barred. Jadge Webster Talks.
Judge I R. 'Webater came Into the
breach at thla Juncture and mad a
forceful plea that no action be taken.
He contended that while the Bar as
aoclatlon had dona things which per
haps should not hava been done, still
It could point to the work of Its Inves
tigating or grievance committee wtth

at tha yoekptl 40 !aye. bat hao already
ahown himself to be such a willing sad
efficient wlelder of the hammer that thi

considered, and have re commanded him
to the eounty court.
Whits haa not a tooth In hia head.
Sunday Commissioner Llghtner visited
the aubjall with Assistant txmniy

Tea, there'a a vast difference between
an outraged man In .Washington, and

given aa the authority for the atate
menta that tha aenator would be impli
cated In tha conspiracy to obtain fraud

Senator Fulton in Washington said
he would demand an explanation and
that he had Instructed his attorneya
here to learn the source of the "Only'a"
Information. To thla the worthy editor
replied that his paper would always and
forever print the newa, "let the ohlpa
fall where they may."
But yesterday, Clyde G. Fulton, a
lawyer and trie "brother" of the aenator,
came to town. Ha had Informed a num
ber of his friends that be had instruc
tions to go to the bottom of the caae.
He did it. So did tbe Oregonian It
says. This morning. In the courae of
an abject apology to Benator Fulton, It
blamea a reporter for "Imposing" on the
